Ting Ma Ma De Hua (Listen To Mama's Words)

Hey little buddy, do you have a lot of questions, why is it
That others are out there playing games, while I’m busy learning to draw, talking to this piano
While others are playing video games, I’m stuck at the wall, studying my ABCs
I said I want a big, big airplane, I feel like I’m on a long, long journey
Why, you gotta listen to mama’s words, when you grow up, you’ll start to understand this kind of talk
When you grow up, I’ll start to see, why I run faster than others, fly higher than others
In the future, everything you see will be the art I create, everything you hear will be the songs I write
Mama’s hard work won’t let you see, the warmth is hidden deep inside her heart
When you’re free, hold my hand tight, let’s dream together
Listen to mama’s words, don’t let her get hurt, grow up fast so you can protect her
Beautiful white hair, happiness blooms like magic in the sky, warmth in the whispers
In your future, music will be your calling, that calling will sing about love
I don’t want to ruin you, so listen to mama’s words, just focus on love
I know the path to your future, when mom is clearer than me
You’ll start to learn from classmates, writing and drawing
But I suggest you write your best, mama, I’ll study hard
Study hard, that’s how I’ll speak from my heart
I don’t want you to struggle, so I’ll teach you, study hard
Mama only gives you her sweater, you need to hold it tight
Because mom will tell me, I’m still here
Right, I’ll meet the people on the road
So you can choose classmates, study hard for your future, it’s your dad
I can’t find the letters from the same year, you write, don’t send them
Because in two days, you’ll see me on the playground
You’ll start to like pop songs because school is preparing you for the stage
Listen to mama’s words, don’t let her get hurt, grow up fast so you can protect her
